For generations, the bones and feet of a chicken were never wasted — they were transformed, slowly and deliberately, into something that healed. Nutritionist Pablo Ojeda reminds us that in discarding these parts, we have quietly abandoned one of the most nutrient-dense foods available, one that speaks directly to the biological challenges of aging.

Waste Management
Consumers may increase demand for whole chickens and byproducts (feet, carcass), reducing household food waste and lowering nutritional costs. Could decrease demand for collagen supplements, shifting spending toward cheaper protein sources.
Potential regulatory focus on food waste reduction and circular economy practices in poultry processing. May incentivize marketing of previously discarded animal parts. Could impact supplement industry regulation if consumers shift to whole-food alternatives.
